Modern Country is a conceptually ambitious, heartfelt undertaking. Some might notice the lack the unbridled colour that characterized Impossible Truth, but ultimately, it isn't enough to hinder the listener's experience; Tyler's profound understanding of his homeland makes Modern Country an incredibly memorable endeavour.

An impeccable piece of instrumental magic, each song is expansive and cinematic. This has to be one of the most immediate instrumental albums I have ever heard. There are references to 70's folk and country music (I see you Windham Hill Records!), but it sounds rather timeless. This is the album I play if I am in the car and I need to feel like I'm in a 'Thelma and Louise' montage.

A soothing, purely instrumental album for the everyday escapist. Tyler uses broad strokes to convey a vast emptiness that can make an enclosed room feel like layered expanses of wide-ranging magnitudes. "Modern Country" is a 7-track LP that delivers sprawling sceneries through gorgeous guitar compositions that are not only extremely vivid, but powerful as well.
